    Flex This with Allison Tester

    Description: In this episode, Allison Tester and I dive right into what tools help us in the journey of being the best version of ourselves. Allison and I chat about the transformative power of honesty with oneself through journaling and the invaluable role it plays in supporting personal growth and self-discovery. Through candid conversations and practical insights, Allison and I delve into how embracing radical self-reflection and love driven honesty from our people can be a catalyst for transformation in our lives. Key Points: The Importance of Self-Honesty: Radical honesty serves as a foundation for self-awareness and growth. Allison and I discuss the significance of being brutally honest with ourselves about where we've been—our past experiences, mistakes, triumphs, and everything in between. Facing the Truth: the power of verbal feedback. Confronting our truths can be uncomfortable, but it's essential for growth. Sometimes that confrontation and self-reflection is best utilized through a trusted ally. While it is important to acknowledge our own strengths, weakness and aspirations, Allison and I discuss how it is equally important have someone you trust will be honest with you. Allison describes the definition of love as a "love that wants what is best for you, even if it is tough". Journaling as a Tool for Self-Reflection: Journaling is a powerful tool for deepening self-awareness and fostering personal growth. Allison and I chat about the power of having a written record of your thoughts, experiences and feelings not just for emotional processing, but as a tool for your future self when making decisions. Life Audit: Honest self-reflection allows us to identify areas for growth and set intentions and goals aligned with our values and aspirations. Allison shares the power of doing a debrief of your life every 2-3 years using language that serves and invites you to explore how you are expending energy and where you need to hold yourself accountable to the person you are working to become. Recap: By incorporating journaling into our daily lives, we empower ourselves to start the journey of self-exploration, growth, and personal transformation. This episode inspires listeners to lean into the discomfort of self-reflection, knowing that it holds the key to unlocking their fullest potential and living authentically.

    Flex This Season 6 Trailer

    Welcome back to Flex This! I am stoked to be going into the sixth season and third year of the Flex This podcast.  It is hard to believe Flex This just had its three-year anniversary. My vision with Flex This was to share conversations with folks exploring what it means to be a person while normalizing none of us really know what we are doing and we are all doing our best with the tools we currently have to navigate from the lens we see the world. I wanted listeners to hear a version of themselves and their own stories through voices doing the work of becoming the best most authentic version of themselves. Authenticity is a verb and isn’t something you become overnight. It requires self-love to hold yourself accountable to being a disciple of your own journey through curiosity and without judgment. A self-love that has an innate knowing of your value and worth. And, in that knowing, chooses to see every wound discovered and trigger tempting us to live unaligned to our values as another opportunity to grow into a deeper understanding of who we truly are. I am honored for the conversations I have with the people who join me on Flex This and to privilege of bearing witness to them sharing the work they do every day to heal the things that get in the way of them living an authentic life.
